4 causes of genetic poverty

Four stories that will change your perception of the origins of Genetic poverty.
Mentality
At the time when I was a child, we had fun with my friend - we often jumped on the sofa, while the adults did not see our pranks. We liked the creak of the sofa. We were happy by the way dust flies in different directions when we jump. It so happened that 10 years later, I was visiting my childhood friend and I saw the same sofa on which we used to be having fun.
For the time that we did not see each other, her apartment did not change in any way, even that sofa was in the same place, but during this visit, I was unpleasantly surprised by the poverty and lack of cosiness.
I counted silently in my mind, how much money will it take to buy a new sofa, repair old broken chairs, replace the broken glass door of the kitchen cabinet, which somehow was glued together with an adhesive tape. While we were conversed, in my brain, I dyed the floor and the walls. I thought about what It is high time to wash the dirty windows, carry to the trash can all old bags and fragments of old chairs out from under the sofa, discard the cracked ceramic washstand and replace it with a new one
"But maybe the hostess of this house have a difficult situation with money?" - I thought ... But the brain did not give up and suggested that I buy a jar of inexpensive paints and repaint over all those scrapes and dirty places.
My brain pondered the question: "Why is dirt always there where there is poverty? And why is poverty always where there is dirt??" I now ask you the same question.
Even if you replace the word "always" with "almost always" or "often", then it is easier not to do this. Dirt is a manifestation not of lack of money, but of mentality. Think about it: dirt is a manifestation of the corresponding mentality. And since dirt and poverty are neighbors, poverty is a kind of mentality.
As one of the characters in Bulgakov's book once said: "The destruction is not in the lavatories, the destruction is in the heads!"
Philistinism
At school I had an amazing teacher, she taught literature - Tamara Grigoryeva. She possessed a great intellect and a great life experience. Once she uttered a phrase that I remember throughout my life: "Philistinism means eating from an old plate, when a new one is on the shelf."
It is customary to do so in many of the country's houses. People stored in a chest of drawers all new things and new clothes for different holidays, only a holidays comes rarely, and weekdays fills all life. The future will never come for a man who lives only in anticipation of the future, refusing to live today. And then I realized this: I'm ashamed to be a beggar; ashamed to be dirty.
Life by the expectation of the future leads to devastation.
Cinderella Complex
I know one woman who has economize her money for more than twenty years to buy a homestead. She has two daughters. Due to the fact that all the money was deposited in the bank and kept for future purchase of real estate, these girls lived in poverty. They ate the cheapest food, they never tasted delicacies, and they was be dressed in old rags with patched knees. This girls grew, and their trousers grew too. The clothes were bought "for growth" and as the girls grew, the tucked cloth turned away and the pants grew longer and longer. The fabric that was tucked was preserved better, this is called "tricks of poverty" and it was impossible not to notice
It is necessary to tell that our system in the state does not allow enough to earn. But now I do not scold the system. I scold the devastation in the human brains.
If you spend the same money, you can look decent or in a beggarly way. When this woman finally bought the desired household plot, both grown-up daughters had no interest in this land and did not want to take care of her, but at the same time they reproached their mother for that she did not teach them to be women.
These girls thus acquired a Cinderella complex. They, accustomed to seeing rubbed chairs and old dishes, walls with spots of dirt and a coat that had to be thrown to the cesspool another 10 years ago, later becoming adults, and were afraid to spend money for themselves.
Every time they bought something, they got in a bad mood: Somewhere on a subconscious level, they considered themselves unworthy of new and beautiful things. This is called two words - genetic poverty. This is already in consciousness, in cells, in blood, in bones.
Fear of spending money on yourself makes you a beggar.
Programming
Children who see old and dirty walls are also subconsciously programmed for poverty. Anton Chekhov noted in one of his books that peeling walls and dirty corridors badly affect a student's ability to learn.
Dirt and poverty suppress the person, the habitual kind of a miserable and dirty environment, turns a person into a loser.
You might object to me that the hatred of poverty stimulates some people to develop and earn money, but I will answer that a much larger number of people are breaking down under the overwhelming burden of poverty. In the language of my country, the words "trouble" and "poverty" have one root. Drive the trouble away from you. Drive the poverty away from you.
I really like the phrase: "Wealth is a state of mind."
So, poverty is also a state of mind.
